Cold Spell Discussion (Ireland): Cold/Frosty/Icy with Snow for some

patneve2

spits of graupel every now and again - you'd barely notice it if you weren't looking for it. Not expecting anything more than this

Il be in clonskeagh in a few minutes too- Spitting snow isnt worth it to be honest- Barely even nice to look at to be honest- We need a streamer to build like in 2010. But that wont happen until winds turn more North East.

3 hours of snow now from this streamer and it's still going - about an inch of snow on the ground:

Simply stunning. Enjoy it while you can.

The wait goes on. Do any of you feel almost annoyed with themselves having invested so much time in the last few days

Yes, now, I often sit alone watching stuff and haring off to catch wind and squall lines and potential major events and I was a little disappointed in myself for expecting a little snow from my own observations and it did not happen.

Then today's total none event was forecast as a major event, I had not seen it myself and was struggling to see where others had seen it so I was confused and second guessed myself but trusted the experts here [more than Met Eireann] and of course it did not happen today. So yes, I'm disappointed that my own views were more correct, but I accepted other interpretations, and it did not happen.

We then look for the next event, see, I'm already different in as much as I called this event over, much earlier today, a few called it over yesterday, I'm not waiting for tomorrow to try and salvage anything from what I thought were wildly optimistic forecasts, no, IMO tomorrow is a new event.

And for tomorrow for my area I don't see the big snow, most of the charts and forecasts that I've looked at shows a mild snow event quickly followed by rain, within 25 miles of me, to the west, there could be a major snow event.

Boo Hiss! Nothing but pissy cold rain here the past few days, which is arguably the worst and most non exciting weather ever!
This rollercoaster has me sick, gimme 2 snow days and a chance to get a sledge out and ill be happy!

Ah im giving up on this now the Waterford block is in force once again so I wont be seeing much as usual

Very fine snow here in Carlow.

It would need to fall for a month straight to have any sort of impact.

Nice, never knew about that site, has the hi-res UKMO model there as well

Seems to show some light showers along the east coast tonight while the front makes it to the Midlands (and Waterford) tomorrow night albeit with mostly very light precip

Controls are in the bottom left for anyone who can't find them, took me ages to see them!

That is a super find. I had no idea that was available anywhere. It's the UK4 model. 4km resolution run to 36 hours, 4 times a day.

Yup, at least an event on the scale of the 1947 winter was expected, but to be fair, that remark was not posted first hand on Boards.

That's about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike though! Nothing happening this end of the Irish Sea

Right I'm going to stick my neck out here and after following the models all winter I've noticed that the GEM has the most accurate within the last few weeks. It seems to be handling the synoptics better than others. UKMO has been performing OK too, however it's been widely over-estimating total precip, GEM has been more accurate with that too! So on that basis, although the majority of the country will have a range of daytime temps hovering from 1 - 4/5C, with overnight dipping into minus figures at times, precip levels will be minimal, except for when a LP arrives on Monday giving parts of the SW a brief snow event. Areas that could be effected IMO incl Kerry, Clare, Galway, West Cork (maybe further East also), Tipp and parts of Limerick. Northern Eastern counties may also recieve some snow Monday and Tuesday. I think most of Leinster and the midlands will miss out except for a few passing sleet/snow showers, but nothing prolonged or accumulating unless on higher elavations. I think as we head towards the end of the week, there will be a gradual return to more seasonal temps 6-9C, but it should remain relatively dry.

Yep, for 3am tomorrow night, there's no scale so not sure how heavy it is but the blue probably only equates to drizzle.

The second one is temperature at the same time with everywhere inside the broken red line below 0C so more likely to see snow though it looks very light for most

Darwin

Lots of wind and rain, most of the models are showing a return to milder conditions next weekend.
